ERF 21st Annual Conference 2015

ERF Annual Conference
The Economic Research Forum’s (ERF) Annual Conference has become the premiere regional
event for Middle East economists, where new ideas are born, nourished and promoted; where
the community of researchers meets; and where excellence is celebrated. This year’s conference
will be held in Tunisia, March 20-22, 2015, in collaboration with the Tunisian Economic Association. The main theme of the plenary sessions is “Democracy and Economic Development.”
Besides the plenary sessions, which will feature world renowned economists, political scientists and policy makers, there will be six parallel sessions daily. Parallel sessions will see the
presentation of more than 40 papers under the themes of Macroeconomics, Microeconomics,
International Economics, Finance, Labor and Human Development and Institutional Economics. In addition, there will be two special sessions showcasing the work by ERF on the themes of
“Transition in the Arab World” and “Inequality in the Arab World.” As always, the closing session
will be devoted to celebrating the six winners of what has become a regional mark of excellence:
The Best Paper Award.
Conference Theme
The choice of “Democracy and Economic Development” as the main theme of the conference is prompted by two observations: First, several countries in the region are engaged in a
messy democratization process; Second, the causal relationship between democracy and economic development (and reverse causation) is anything but clear and conclusive.
To be sure, democracy is important in its own right. In addition, as former British Prime Minister
Winston Churchill once famously remarked, “… [It] is the worst form of government, except for
all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” We also know that all rich and advanced countries are democracies. The problem is that the transition to democracy is associated
with high levels of uncertainty, economic difficulties and rising popular demands. Failing to manage this transition can be costly and may jeopardize the transition process altogether. Beyond
the transition, both theory and empirical evidence are inconclusive when it comes to the impact
of democracy on economic growth and distribution, on the one hand, and the impact of growth
and distribution on democracy, on the other. Moreover, democracy is not monolithic and has
different faces (especially in terms of design and practice), and thus may have varying repercussions on policymaking and development. In this context, the objectives of the three plenary
sessions of this conference are to address the debates surrounding the link between democracy
and development, the possible impact of different forms of democracy on development and how
to best navigate the transition towards democracy in the Arab world.
Plenary Session 1: The Relationship between Democracy and Development
To disentangle the relationship between democracy and economic development, the speakers
in this session will adopt a medium to long term perspective, addressing such questions as: Do
countries become democratic when their levels of income reach a certain level, or does democracy come about as a result of historical events or critical junctures? What is the role of inequality and class structure in bringing about more democratic societies? Viewed from the opposite
perspective, what is the impact of democracy on development, and does it always deliver acceptable socio-economic outcomes? Are there economic and social circumstances, such as levels
of development or conflicts, where a dictatorship may outperform a democratic regime?
1 | Democracy and Economic Development
Plenary Session 2: Forms of Democracy and Development
This session starts from the observation that democracy comes in many forms, apparently with
different results in terms of economic growth, equity and overall welfare. The question is what
makes one form of democracy more successful than another? To explore this question, the
speakers will address such questions as: To what extent can the variations in economic outcomes be attributed to the way democratic institutions are designed and the manner in which
they behave, especially in terms of checks and balances, transparency, accountability and
broad political inclusion? Which features of democratic institutions are most relevant and critical
for achieving positive developmental outcomes? Are there forms of democracy, such as presidential or parliamentary; features of electoral processes; and/or systems of political finance
that are empirically found to be better than others?
March 20-22
With respect to the Arab countries, the speakers could further address questions such as: Why
did the region suffer from a “democratic deficit” for a long time? To what extent did oil, conflicts, political Islam, and colonialism contribute to this outcome? What prompted the recent
uprisings? Why did they occur in some countries, but not in others? And how serious is the
ensuing polarization for prospects of democracy?
Turning to the Arab countries, what are the implications of the above for the Arab countries in
transition? In particular, what should these countries do to create good democratic systems and
what are the pitfalls they should avoid?
Plenary Session 3: Navigating the Transition to Democracy
Informed by the findings of the previous plenary sessions, this session will more broadly examine the experiences of countries that went through democratic transitions to draw lessons
for the Arab countries currently navigating their own transitions. To this end, the speakers will address such questions as: Is there a pattern for successful political and economic
transitions or is the process country specific? How long does it take to achieve political and
economic stability and at what cost? What prevents countries in transition from sliding back
into undemocratic governance? Finally, how were social mass movements transformed into a
political power base for new regimes?
In addition to the above questions, the speakers may also deal with the role of religion and
the military in transition processes. Finally, they may speculate about what can be expected
going forward.
